Jumping off of Andrew's question/statement: "Yet the lack of any mention or sign of Wonder man's presence after Mighty Avengers #20 still has me worried." There is a ray of hope for us. Slott went on the record when it was first announced that a Wonder Man & Beast team-up was going to happen in Mighty. Now, most of us on the board took that as fact that Simon was still part of the team. Now it looks like Simon and Hank will be guest starring together. Intersting and a little disappointing.

Another item posted by Legs in the first string to this thread referring to Ms. Marvel in Dark Avengers - although I cannot say this for certain but the Ms. Marvel in her original costume is most likely Karla Sofen better known as the Thunderbolts' Moonstone. It looks like some of the more current Thunderbotls are switching costumes to classic heroes and/or Avengers' original costumes. For instance, the Hawkeye appearing in Dark Avengers is either Bullseye or the Strucker Swordsman. The Iron Patriot has been rumored to be anybody from Norman Osborne, Abner Jenkins (Beetle I) or the original Thunderbolts leader, Baron Zemo. It is certainly going to be an interesting take on thing but most likely will not be featuring Simon.
